Viterbo University
competes in the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA), a governing body that encompasses 23
national championships for 300 member institutions.
Every year, more than 50,000 student-athletes
participate in NAIA competitions.
In over 67 years of operation, the NAIA has consistently
focused on the student-athlete by initiating
the strongest academic standards and providing
more national championship opportunities in intercollegiate
sports than any other organization. The
NAIA is committed to offering student-athletes the
most diversified college life experience. The NAIA
and its member institutions do not waver from
emphasizing the values of good sportsmanship
through athletic competition.
The NAIA Advantage
There are many advantages to competing in NAIA
sports. Besides the benefit of close-knit communities
and small class sizes on the typical NAIA campus,
NAIA athletics offer:
• Maximum opportunity to participate in regular
season contests and National Championships
• Flexibility to transfer without missing a season of
eligibility
• Fewer recruiting restrictions
• Focus on the education and character development
of the student-athlete
Mission Statement
The NAIA Champions of Character initiative
creates an environment in
which every NAIA studentathlete,
coach, official, and
spectator is committed to
the true spirit of competition
through respect, integrity,
responsibility, servant leadership,
and sportsmanship.
